Default O.T. Missing Folder/files

Ok but How do I resize the partitions without cloning?
Do I go into Disk Mangement on the external hd?

Right-click the partition that you want to resize and
choose Move/Resize. Drag the slider towards the left or
right to resize the partition size. Click Apply to save the
change.

Is this correct?

I also don't understand how we got the Not Genuine/Invalid
Windows OS on the 8500 each time we cloned yet this didn't
happen on the 780 because it was refurbished! In essence,
the 8500 is now more like the 780 OS because I lost my Activation.

I realize we can make clone with #4 presently in the 8500 but
I'm not understanding your diagram and analysis but that all if
we had Microsoft support correct? Which we don't.

From what I see we have the bottom scenario were both #3 and
#4 are not genuine because they both had the message at the
end of Invalid Windows OS and Not Genuine. The root cause isn't
solved.

So where do we go from here ? I have the OS back 99% with the
exception of the backspace key and the pop-up's when I attach a
external hd but I now realize I can check disk management to see
if they truly are connected.

If you agree, I think I should re-size #3 partition and the 780's #1,
#2 hd's, then do a System Restore point, then do Mrimgs for both
computers.
